Quick check

Do the main rules appear to fit?

Your answers stay in this page session. The program makes the final decision.

1. Is the property in the official service area or account group?

A city mailing address may not match a utility or watershed boundary.

2. Does the property need one of the approved project routes listed above?
3. Have you checked the approval rule before buying or starting work?

Many programs need before photos, an inspection, or written approval.

Answer each question for a cautious result.

The rules remain visible here even if the interactive check is unavailable.

Questions people ask

Is this a rebate for buying gravel or another material?

No. The program supports the qualifying property project described above. A material purchase matters only when it serves the approved design and follows the program’s payment rules.

Can I start before applying?

Does appearing eligible guarantee funding?

No. Current status, funding, ranking, inspection, and final approval can still affect the outcome.

Who decides whether a material substitution qualifies?
